☕ tea > coffee

is this an unpopular opinion?!

Tea >>>>>>>>> coffee

I don't actually like coffee. It smells so good and tastes so bad!

But here is the part that really will make me unpopular: I don't like any tea but black tea. I don't like green tea or fruit tea or herbal tea. I don't even like Earl Grey, aka 'that horribly perfumed tea people mistakenly think is fancy so they always have their upper crusty characters drinking it in fics'. Earl Grey is actually a solidly middle class choice of tea.

To bring this into at least a tenuous connection with my fandom of choice, I will say that I'm not entirely convinced by the near-universality of modern AU JGY mainlining coffee. I see the reasoning behind it in that he works extremely hard and therefore doesn't get enough sleep, but it doesn't sit right with me to give him a full on caffeine dependence. In canon JGY is trying to be the best cultivator he can and we don't see any evidence that he mistreats his body; on the contrary he's trying to maximise his potential. I'd prefer to see that carried through to a modern AU and I personally write a fairly health-conscious JGY (although again I try to be subtle as I am not keen on these things being taken too far and I wouldn't want to write him as obsessed with healthy living either).

My approach to writing a modern AU JGY consistent with canon is to write him as the sort of person who eats as well as he can, exercises regularly—and then when a crisis hits he drinks 10 Monster energy drinks or takes uppers or god knows what and stays up for 72 hours straight to power through. Basically, he tries to take good care of himself and only when the balance tips over to 'must survive current situation by any means necessary' will he disregard his own health and safety and do whatever it takes.

And naturally, LXC favours tea and has probably never tried coffee. I think we can all agree that the first time he accidentally drinks anything other than decaff he stays up all night and paints an incredible painting of the night sky with a gorgeous full moon. JGY and LWJ each wake up to find they have been left a series of increasingly enthusiastic and decreasingly coherent voicemails about the beauty of nature.

juri has the BEST duels, this is a timeless fact

Have you seen much other Ikuhara shows?

They all end in really interesting ways too?  Like even with the small cast of adversaries her duels just feel really special and significant

Well I did see a lot of Sailor Moon back when it was on toonami (though not really in order and I need to get around to actually doing a sit-down of SM) and like a third of Yuri Kuma Arashi but I have not seen Penguindrum or the kappa cop one?  Sanzaraimai i think? at all yet

💡, and 📒 if you want to lay out a WIP list

💡what inspires your fic ideas?

A strong desire to see Lan Xichen and Jin Guangyao tenderly stroking each other's hands while staring into each other's eyes and discussing situational ethics.

More seriously, I tend to look at canon and go 'I like that aspect, I want more of it'. Hence the weakness of falling in love: I wanted to see what might have happened if Xiyao had acted on their romantic tension. Several other fics have come out of discussions with friends, and that kind of input is invaluable. The baby LXC fic (and its as yet unposted counterpart) was discussed in detail with @xiyao-feels, for example. I also like to turn things inside out, such as with we keep running where I thought it would be interesting to explore a way in which LXC might take care of JGY during their time hiding from the Wen.

📒any fics planned?

Ohoho. All right, let's do this. A selection of my current WIPs:

the weakness of falling in love - chapter 8

This has been written since the end of 2020/start of 2021 and the editing has honestly been fairly light but has taken me a long time for unrelated reasons. It will be posted hopefully not too far in the future. done

unnamed gift fic, prompt: xiyao make an unexpected discovery

I'm still settling on what I will do for this one, but it will happen. done

unnamed gift fic, prompt: xiyao on a picnic

I know exactly what I'm doing for this one and I am not telling, but I intend for it to be in the same verse as weakness.

unnamed gift fic, prompt: [redacted]

This will also be in the same verse as weakness, and I'm not telling. done

unnamed gift fic, prompt: domestic fluff

This is a redo as my other attempt was not fluffy enough; I think I have mentioned I struggle with doing pure fluff. It's from the modern AU and this time I'm trying something much earlier in their relationship. done

unnamed gift fic, prompt: xiyao casefic

So the premise of this one is there was [unspecified fix] and JGY and LXC both continued as active clan leaders for many years. A generation or two has passed and they are now living quietly together away from both their clans, but when a mysterious entity begins systematically burning down watchtowers they come out of retirement to put a stop to the attacks. done

gusu baby lxc

I am extremely stupid and this is another multichapter, but it's quite episodic and slice-of-life-ish which is more relaxing for me. Essentially there is an accident at the Cloud Recesses and LXC becomes baby. JGY receives a vague and alarming letter from Er-ge and rushes over there, only to find a fifteen-year-old who was very nervous to meet Lianfang-zun and now has stars in his eyes. It's [not currently decided but probably around a month or two] until the conditions are right for LXC to be unbabied, so JGY decides to stay and look after baby LXC amongst the Lan. This plan is very sensible except baby LXC would like his kisses now please and thank you.

a study of the urban fridge-deer

Modern AU in which baby Meng Yao finds destitute baby LXC at the bus stop and takes him home to his poky attic studio. They make stir fry. They share their tragic backstories. There Is Only One Bed. done

grandmaster jiggy

I have been wanting to do this one for many moons, but it has to wait until after the giftfics are done. WRH discovers that MY is a spy and has his golden core melted and flings him into the Burial Mounds. MY is the one who invents demonic cultivation. Inspired by the fact that JGY absolutely could and would do this because he is staggeringly talented and the rest of the cast are frankly lucky his education was so deficient or he would put them all to shame with his achievements. Yeah I really, really want to finish this one. It will definitely happen but probably long after everyone else has lost interest.

That's it in terms of things I categorically know I will finish and post, I think.

Thank you for the ask!
